The republicans elected their ticket in
the Philadelphia municipal election by
2S,283 pleurality, and the democrats are
very unhappy over the result. They find
that government patronage will not con-
troll elections against the will of the. peo-
pie in the northern States.
Inquiry among laboring men quickly
discloses that they are strongly opposed
to legislation which will prohibit them
working more than ten hours a day.
They regard such legislation as unfriend-
ly to their interests and opposed to their
rights and privileges under the constitu-
ton. 1t is evident that individuals who
expect to gain favor with laboring men
by advocating such restriction, will find
that they are barking up the wrong
tree"

on the floor, that the State would be called
on in the future to appropriate more money

that terrible field of Gettysburg, to the field
OF Morris Island and the charge ON Fort
Morgan, where so many of the boys in blue
fell, TO the friends Of Cold Harbor, the Viii.

voted for the amendment because his patriot
ism and his feelings were so worked upon
that he feared his judgment was at fault. he
felt it was one of the proudest days of his
life when be could stand up and say he was
an old soldier; but he wished gentlemen to
consider. If their patriotism impelled them
to appropriate this money, he hoped they
would not put it all in monuments, but take
that extra $4,000 and vote it in pensions to
the widow and the orphan of these gallant
men who fell fighting for their country.
